Magewell Introduces Centralized
Encoder, Decoder and Stream
Management Software
ideo interface and IP workflow
innovator Magewell has
announced its new Magewell Cloud
multi-device management software.
Available free of charge for installation
on an on-premises server or cloud
hosting platform, the Magewell
Cloud software provides centralized
configuration and control of multiple
Magewell IP encoders and decoders
plus powerful stream management
features including protocol conversion
and SRT gateway functionality.
" While Magewell streaming and IP
conversion solutions all have their own
intuitive user interfaces, customers
with multiple Magewell devices or
systems integrators supporting
Magewell solutions across several
end-user installations may wish to
manage them all remotely from a
single dashboard, " said James Liu,
VP of Engineering at Magewell. " The
Magewell Cloud software makes it easy
for integrators, administrators, and IT
staff to configure and manage multiple
Magewell IP devices across any
number of sites through an intuitive,
browser-based interface while also
providing workflow-simplifying stream
management functions. "

Free Magewell Cloud software provides unified configuration and control of multiple
hardware devices plus SRT gateway and streaming protocol conversion features
NDI® technology and other popular
protocols.
One management platform
for many Magewell devices
Magewell Cloud supports remote
management of all of the company's
current hardware solutions for
streaming and IP conversion. These
include the Ultra Stream family
of
live streaming
and
recording
appliances; the recently-introduced
Ultra Encode series of universal live
media encoders; and the Pro Convert
portfolio of encoders and decoders for
bridging traditional video and audio
signals with IP media networks using
Once the Magewell hardware devices
have been registered to a Magewell
Cloud installation, users can remotely
configure device parameters, monitor
the
status
of
each
device,
trigger
operational functions - such as starting
or stopping encoding - and perform
batch firmware upgrades across
multiple units of the same model.
Administrators can also group devices
together and assign permissions for
different devices or groups.
Simplifying SRT streaming
Magewell Cloud simplifies one-tomany
or many-to-many
SRT gateway. SRT-capable Magewell
devices - including Ultra Encode
universal live media encoders and
Pro Convert multi-format IP decoders
- and third-party SRT products can
connect to Magewell Cloud rather
than directly to each other. This
eliminates the need to allocate public,
static IP addresses for each SRT
device, as only the Magewell Cloud
software installation needs to be
accessible over the internet to enable
SRT streaming between multiple
endpoints.
streaming
with the Secure Reliable Transport
(SRT) protocol by serving as an
While the SRT protocol enables
secure, reliable, low-latency
transmission even over unpredictable
networks such as the public internet,
many legacy encoders and decoders
do not directly support SRT. The
Magewell Cloud platform can convert
streams bi-directionally between
RTMP and SRT, allowing users to take
advantage of the robustness of SRT
within their workflows while providing
compatibility with a broader range of
devices and software.
Flexible deployment
Magewell Cloud is delivered
as a Docker container, enabling
deployment on Windows®, Linux®, and
MacOS® computing platforms with
minimal configuration requirements.
Customers can run Magewell Cloud
on their own private server or public
cloud infrastructure such as Amazon
Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft
Azure,
and
can
through
browser-based GUI.
The Magewell Cloud software is
now in beta testing, with general
availability expected later in Q3. Users
interested in beta testing a pre-release
version of the software are invited to
submit a request through the Magewell
